Forecasts

Mk's Pride (11/8), Certifiable (5/2), Shortstop (4/1), Mohican (11/2), Whipping Boy (13/2), After Hours (10/1), Duke Of Swing (22/1), What A Story (22/1), Melchizedek (40/1), Serenity (40/1)

WHIPPING BOY can give all these something to think about on these terms after a good second last time. Shortstop is fancied as the best bet for second, while After Hours is another that should go well.
